Solar Boat Museum

Khufu-Solar-Ship-Museum-1024x587.jpg

 

Could ancient Egyptians go to space? Well, not quite, but these solar boats were constructed as ritualistic ships, made to send the dead into the afterlife, as the Egyptian sun God Ra took them across the heavens.

The boat in this museum was built specifically for Pharaoh Khufu, and here, you can see it from three different angles, from all three floors, along with a narration of how the ship was first discovered and later reassembled for the museum.
